Rocky Asteroid

Rocky Asteroid is a space destination with a distance of 20,000 km. It is composed of roughly equal amounts of Raw Metals, in the form of Copper Ore and Iron Ore, and Raw Minerals, in the form of Sedimentary Rock and Igneous Rock.

Utilization
The Rocky Asteroid is a renewable source of Raw Metals and Raw Minerals. It is located at a distance of 20,000 kilometers. The optimal Rocket configuration for a space mission to the Rocky Asteroid consists of either 4 cargo modules and 2 Liquid Fuel Tanks, or 6 cargo modules and 3 Liquid Fuel Tanks, both returning 2.22 kilograms of cargo (if using Cargo Bays) for every 1 kilogram of Petroleum fuel. Using a Biological Cargo Bay will return Stone Hatches.

Tips

 * The similarly distant Metallic Asteroid provides a greater quantity of the same metals in their refined rather than raw form. As such, missions to the Rocky Asteroid to acquire Raw Metal to refine are counterproductive.
 * It is, however, the only renewable source of ore in the event that it is needed for repairs.
